Conclusion of an order processing contract

In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with our hoster Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors As a matter of principle, we do not disclose any data to third parties without your consent. Should this nevertheless be the case, the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when passing on data to online payment providers for the fulfillment of contracts or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to hand over the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights. We also use processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors as part of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We select our processors carefully, monitor them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and GDPR 

Data transfer to third countries

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore primarily processed by companies to which the GDPR applies. However, if processing is carried out by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these must fulfill the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR must be met. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination by the EU Commission of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses".

Insofar as we obtain your express consent to the transfer of data to the USA due to the ineffectiveness of the so-called "Privacy Shield", in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR, we would like to point out the risk of secret access by US authorities and the use of the data for surveillance purposes, possibly without legal remedies for EU citizens.

Deletion of data and storage duration 

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as you revoke your consent to the processing or the purpose for the storage no longer applies or the data is no longer required for the purpose, unless its further storage is necessary for evidence purposes or there are statutory retention obligations to the contrary. This includes, for example, commercial law obligations to retain business letters in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (6 years) and tax law obligations to retain documents in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted unless storage is still required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Existence of automated decision-making 

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

• Session cookies: Session cookies are required to recognize multiple uses of an offer by the same user (e.g. if you have logged in to determine your login status). When you visit our site again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our services and make it easier for you to access our site. When you close the browser or log out, the session cookies are deleted.
  
• Persistent cookies: These cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. They are used to store the login, to measure reach and for marketing purposes. They are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

Otherwise, we have a legitimate interest in the effective functionality, improvement and economic operation of the website, so that in this case Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.

3. we may also process the data you provide in order to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you e-mails with technical information.
